I own this bike and have had it for about 5 months. Long rides and short rides and it’s been very reliable actually. I live in Daytona beach and have taken it around town during bike week and have gotten compliments on it for a nice cruise bike and beginner bike
Even at $2,500 dollars it's too expensive....these things are marked up about $1,000 dollars from what they sell in other markers i.e. south American and Asian markets....how do I know this? Am currently in a south American country and these things are being sold between $1,500 and $2,000 U.S. dollars..and with cash in hand that price will comes down ....
Haha.. I'm glad that you guys get to see the kinda Chinese bikes we ride here in Jamaica. Haha.. They're all for looking good, don't pack much of a punch 👊🏿 😊
I am impreseed how well made that bike is for only 2400$! Would like to have one without a question. Great video, would be nice to have this bike more often on this channel.
10:18 Says $2,300, the title says $2,400.. and now Venom website one year later selling their 2021 model for... $3300.00. Yeah last that I looked bikes lose their value quickly and unsold bikes from previous years usually go down a couple hundred dollars at the dealerships.. not go up a thousand. Not good business practice Venom.. not good at all. For $3300.00 I can get a 2021 Honda CBR300R.
@@stuwest5862 ive seen a 1 year review on this bike. 4000 miles and the owner said the only they needed to replace was a gear lever and luckily you get a 1 year warranty on those
@@stuwest5862 why not. Other people have been riding for years and my x22r rides really nice. Loving it. However im getting a ninja in a few months but im still gonna use this bike
OC: the price is great for someone who is just getting on 2 wheels. Hopefully First Ride indicates that it is a viable beginner option. Could be lots of birthday/holiday gifts.
OC: It's 2021. I would never buy a brand new carubureted bike anymore these days. Can't get these things road legal in the EU. Also looks like it's made from leftovers from bikes that aren't produced anymore... Mirrors Kawasaki ninja 250r. Tach: Honda cbr 250r. fairing Kawasaki ER-6f, and so on...
I mean a mb200 hurricane is 1300$ and they are solid machines. so it should be no surprise a solid bike can be had for over 2k as long as the company knows what they are doing.
Longevity wise that probably wouldn't be the best purchase lol I can only imagine how much stuff would break and give out just after a few months. Better off buying a used Japanese bike. My ZX6R was only $2300 and lasted over 10 years and still going.
Tbh most chinese bikes are okay at this, usual point of failure is just weak plastics that are exposed to vibrations. As long as you're not crazy with them they can last a pretty long time especially considering this does actually have an old cbr 250 engine in it, that said for this budget you could probably get more bike for this same money, not like you're missing out of tech by virtue of chinese being a newer build as it has none.
@@smithrick7051 Welds generally. A lot of these chinese bikes use an old honda or suzuki engine architecture and aren't counterbalanced. So they vibrate the bolts off and break the cheap welds.
So they may have done it and just not shown it in the video or I may have missed it, but I HIGHLY recommend doing an every nut and bolt inspection of anything shipped in a crate before cranking it over. Much less starting it and riding it. It would be horrible to see something catastrophic happen because someone missed or didn't get a bolt tight in an assembly line moving just a little too fast at the factory it was built at. Also what kind of warranty does it carry?
If you see this comment, please try and get your hands on the 2020 VENOM X22-GT Automatic from venom! Would love to see an in depth review on that bike as well!
7:127:17 my bike makes that same noise and it clicks and if I jump the battery it runs like 8:10 then shuts right off... Any Moto doctors can ya plz explain to me as a new rider wat can I do to fix it... I've tried changing the solenoid relay, the spark plugs, the oil, and put new gas in it... Still won't start
Cool, thanks for the review on the X22R. Back in 2008, a Ninja new model 250R with carb start, was in the range of $3200 brand new, but then following years, spiked to $4000 or so and went up ever since.
yeah and a 2021 CBR300R right off the showroom floor is $3,999... Honda is WAY better than this Chinese turd, with a better warranty and with certified Honda mechanics at those dealerships to repair and replace EVERYTHING on the bike. Venom is trying to rob people selling these bikes at $3300.00. Alibaba sells them for $600.. Freight forwarder is a couple hundred.. add $300 for delivery service from Freight Forwarder Port to your door step.. and you can easily get this bike yourself for $1500.00.
@@ChristopherJones16 I’d love to get one of their 300 clones just for the frame and parts so I could swap an EX250F inside for the EX250L look and a ton of modern replica parts. I imagine that this kind of thing happens when they make enough replica parts that you could almost build a whole bike with them… so someone fills in the gaps and does exactly that. The frame looks like a clone but the brakes obviously aren’t. Headlight, fairings, footrests, pedals, handlebars, windscreen, and more are straight-up sold as parts for the EX300 and EX250L (250 version of the EX300 for Japan and SE Asia).

@@kflight6500 It was great for what I needed it for. Had to replace a few things along the year of ownership. But for what you get, can't beat the price point for a new 250cc.

Good evening chase I have a quick question that I really need your opinion on I’m a entry level rider and I’m considering purchasing this bike I’m…. And I weigh about 240 is this bike a good to purchase
Got me the 2021 250CXR in march of 2022 from Belmont Bikes/Venom Motor sports. What a crap bike. Tin cans got more metal than this bike. Top motor mounts brake all the time. Bottom down tubes cracked from frame. The plastic fairing vibrates like a cheap toy. Paint chips were in tank and first fill up clogged fuel lines. Your buying a LAWNMOWER in a sport frame. Would I buy again, HELL NO. RUNNNN. Purchase March 7th 2022 / Order # 6258. All the plastic on my bike is cracked, Do not buy new plastic or fairings. I suspect thats there real money maker. Cheap plastic part replacement is goal. Bike looks better with out fairing.
they didn't even bother to bring that to India, they built a new one and called it the gixxer259sf....yes its a little single cylinder but its lighter and faster
Did you guys have problems with the brakes like on their other bike? I seen where you had to shave that part down and I wanna buy one of these bikes but I'm not sure now cause I'm not mechanically inclined like you guys to see if the brakes are gonna boil up
OC: Looks like it could be a fun bike. I would have had a blast on it back in high school/college to get around town and play a little on the weekends.
My R3 was $4204 out the door brand new with a deal, that thing after shopping and fees like taxes, reg... It's not too far off. Nice looking bike though. Probably good for a first timer convert to first time track.
It's free shipping, couple hundred bucks to tag it up. Prob spend another $400 doing mods. Which leaves $1200 of what you spent to buy some gear, take off work a few days and go on a road trip with it lol but yes an R3 is better of course
@@BrianAlexander25 free shipping is gravy. Would be nice for first timers and if they like it convert to a cheapo starter track bike. Resale likely bupkiss for now, always nice to have more than 3 bikes anyway 😆👍

I would buy a used Japanese bike, and for beginners, a used bike will also teach u about bike maintenance. Japanese bikes have more options for accessories, upgrades and various types of parts. Also, mainstream brands follow the homologation standards to a tee, which is good for safety.

Let us know what class of bike it's insured as. Sport? Standard? Would be a choice for daily riding vs my RR in Canada as long as it's not a sport

Do they ship to Ireland
It comes fully assembled?
plz review the 250cc venom chopper
hey bro how safe is it to order online
Where can we order these from?
oc - For that price looks like a great beginner. I would like to see a bit of a torture test on it.
How do I get my plates
What site is where u got this bike
is this bike good for a beginner?
How fast can it go?
Are the stickers on the side removable?
Any updates on the bike? Are parts expensive or cheap?
But how reliably is it?
This is worth getting just for the neighborhood hell I work 4.5 miles away from home
I know this is forever after but you guys should try the x22GT

So where can I order it at
I actually heard these are pretty fun. I've never seen one in person, but I've seem some of these that were hella modded
I have one, mine is a 2020 x22r and it looks just like that. One.. hella fun to ride it's an actual full size bike for the low
Has it been pretty reliable for you? I just ordered one today@calvinwalker3012
Had one loved it just parts break down fast and they are limited in fairings so I sold it after I couldn't escape a crazy hhr driver
Hey how can I get them to send me one to my shop?????

0 to 60 in 17 seconds? LOL Its a "Superbike" after all!
My Rebel does it faster and my Rebel has a slower 0-60 that my 90hp Pontiac Fiero. Which is around 11 seconds.
How do u get title for it?
I wouldn’t trust any review of these things. Chinese companies are paying content creators and making them sign contracts and paying them money
I am like you chase those Triple trees look pretty damn good. and for 2,400.00 you get a pretty cool entry level bike
How can I buy this ?
I swear that dash is from a Honda CBR250!
It is. So is the swingarm. I bet a few othewr parts are CBR 250r-ish.
You should do the venom ghost 250
Its lifan ?
Can the x22r 250cc engine fit on the x22 125cc bike?
It Should be able to
